What Does a Low A/G Ratio Mean In A Lab Test?

Why This Was Updated?

Our specialists regularly review advancements in health and wellness, ensuring our articles are updated with the newest information as it becomes accessible.
Medically Reviewed by

The albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio is a key serum test that measures the balance between two essential blood proteins: albumin and globulin. This ratio is crucial in medical diagnostics, providing insights into a patient's nutritional status, inflammation levels, and potential underlying diseases.Β 

Understanding the clinical implications of a low A/G ratio aids in diagnosing and managing these health concerns effectively. This article discusses the significance of the A/G ratio and its role in identifying and addressing various medical conditions.

What is the A/G Ratio?

Albumin and globulin are the main proteins that are found in the serum; the liquid portion of the blood that is removed of clotting factors. Albumin accounts for more than half of the proteins found in serum while globulin makes up the remainder. They both serve critical functions and can be indicators of overall nutritional and inflammation status.Β 

Albumin is synthesized in the liver and circulates in the blood, where it plays vital roles such as:

  • Maintaining oncotic pressure: albumin helps to regulate the amount of fluid within the blood vessels in relation to the surrounding tissue.Β 
  • Transportation: albumin transports a wide variety of substances throughout the blood, including hormones, copper, bilirubin, fatty acids, and certain medications.Β 
  • Antioxidant: albumin can help neutralize reactive oxygen species that could otherwise cause damage
  • pH buffer: albumin helps to maintain a healthy acid-base balance in the blood by buffering pH levels.Β 

Globulins are synthesized mainly in the liver and by immune system cells and encompass hundreds of different types of proteins. Globulin proteins are grouped into fractions (alpha, beta, and gamma) that exhibit a wide variety of functions including:Β 

  • Blood coagulation: globulins include proteins such as prothrombin, which affect the body’s ability to form blood clots.
  • Protect against infection: formed by gamma globulins, immunoglobulins are antibodies created by white blood cells to fight infection.Β 
  • Acute inflammatory response: globulins include acute phase proteins which rise during acute injury such as from infection or trauma to help protect and repair bodily tissues.Β 
  • Transportation: globulin proteins help carry substances such as triglycerides and cholesterol throughout the blood.Β 

The albumin/globulin ratio (A/G ratio) is a serum test that assesses the balance between these two main serum proteins and can signal possible issues with malnutrition, inflammation, and certain diseases. It is calculated by dividing the number of albumin proteins in serum by the number of globulin proteins. A normal range for A/G ratio is 1.0-2.5.

Diagnosing Low A/G Ratio

The A/G ratio is a simple blood test that is often included in routine screening labs as part of a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP). If the ratio is out of range, it can be an important indicator of a more serious disease that requires further investigation. It also may be run in the presence of certain symptoms that would suggest a protein imbalance, such as:

  • Swelling in the lower legs or abdomen
  • Fatigue
  • Lack of appetite
  • Weakness
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Jaundice
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Blood in the urine

A decreased A/G ratio is one that falls below 1.0 on a standard blood test. Because the ratio is the amount of globulin in comparison to albumin, lower levels often indicate a decrease in albumin, an increase in globulin, or a combination of both.Β 

Because this test does not distinguish which protein or proteins are out of balance, it is often followed by further lab testing to identify the specific proteins that are elevated or decreased. These tests may include:

Based on the results of these tests, a working list of possible diagnoses can be created to help guide further workup and pinpoint a diagnosis. It is important to note that a low A/G ratio is not specific enough on its own to establish a credible diagnosis, and so further comprehensive testing is required to identify the likely cause. These can include:

  • Liver function tests: such as ALT, AST, and alkaline phosphatase which help assess if liver damage is present.
  • Kidney function tests: to assess the kidney’s filtering capacity. These include kidney markers in the blood and urine, such as serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and urine protein and albumin levels.Β 
  • Inflammatory markers: such as C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate to identify acute or chronic inflammation causes.Β 

Causes of Low A/G Ratio

A low A/G ratio can indicate the presence of an underlying disease or poor nutritional status. There are many different conditions that can result in a lowered ratio, including:

Liver Disease

As albumin is synthesized in the liver, decreased albumin production can signify liver dysfunction. Liver diseases associated with low A/G ratios include:

  • Liver cirrhosis: in this disease, the liver becomes progressively scarred until it is no longer able to perform its vital functions. A reduction in viable liver cells results in decreased production of albumin which in turn accelerates the progression of the disease as albumin is no longer sufficient to perform its important roles in the body.Β 
  • Hepatitis: these diseases result in inflammation of the liver and can be caused by various agents such as viruses, increased alcohol consumption, and toxins. Albumin is often decreased in severe cases of acute hepatitis and in chronic forms.Β 

Kidney Disease

Both kidney dysfunction and inflammation have been implicated as the possible cause of low A/G ratios.Β 

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD): low A/G ratios have been found to be predictive for the development of CKD in certain populations. Although not well understood, it is believed that inflammatory processes involved with CKD are the cause of the reduction of albumin and subsequent low A/G ratio.Β 
  • Nephrotic syndrome: in this condition, the kidneys excrete excessive amounts of protein into the urine, causing low serum albumin and reducing the A/G ratio.Β 

Infection and Inflammatory Diseases

Alpha globulins and gamma globulins both contain proteins that are acute phase reactants, meaning that their levels spike during acute and chronic inflammation. High globulin levels lower the A/G ratio and have been implicated in chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes.Β 

Certain cancers, especially blood cancers such as multiple myeloma, result in high gamma globulin levels and subsequent low A/G ratios. Lowered ratios have been correlated with increased incidence of cancer and cancer mortality.Β 

Nutritional Factors

Low A/G ratios have long been thought to be a marker of nutritional status. Since albumin is a protein, it would follow that poor protein intake from malnutrition would lead to reduced serum levels and, thus, low A/G. However, recent studies suggest that low A/G ratios in association with malnourishment are a result of inflammation rather than reduced intake.Β 

Muscle mass and strength also influence A/G levels. Low albumin has been correlated with reduced muscle strength, while elevations in globulin levels have been found in individuals with low muscle mass, especially in elderly populations.Β 

Medical Treatments and Interventions

Medical treatment is dependent upon the specific cause underlying low A/G ratios. As many of these conditions can be serious or even life-threatening, it is important to work with a medical provider to determine the best course of treatment. These can include:

Balancing and Maintaining Healthy A/G Ratio

Balancing and maintaining a healthy A/G ratio is essential for ensuring optimal immune function and overall physiological well-being through proper nutrition, lifestyle choices, and regular health monitoring.

Dietary and Lifestyle Modifications

  • Protein: As low A/G ratios have been associated with malabsorption, focusing on incorporating healthy proteins into the diet to reach recommended levels is an important part of preventing and correcting imbalances from these causes. Although protein requirements change with age, for adults it is generally recommended to eat 1-1.2g/kg of body weight.Β 

Healthy protein-rich sources include:

  • Poultry such as chicken, turkey, and eggs
  • Soy proteins such as tofu, tempeh, and edamameΒ 
  • Fish and other seafood
  • Dairy, such as cottage cheese and Greek yogurt
  • Nuts and seeds such as peanuts, almonds, and pumpkin seeds
  • Legumes such as lentils, navy beans, and black beans
  • Anti-inflammatory diets: Because inflammation can be a source of A/G imbalances, diets that focus on anti-inflammatory foods may help maintain healthy albumin and globulin levels and protect against kidney and liver disease. An accessible option is the Mediterranean diet, which focuses on the following:
    • Increasing intake of nutrient-dense vegetables and fruits by adding them to every meal
    • Incorporating healthy fats such as olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fatty fishΒ 
    • High fiber intake from vegetables, legumes, and whole grains
    • Reducing consumption of sweets and processed foods
  • Exercise: Adding regular exercise as part of a daily regimen can improve many different aspects of health and reduce risk factors for diseases that can alter A/G ratios, such as improving insulin sensitivity for the prevention of diabetes.Β
